Senate President Godswill Akpabio recently highlighted that Nigeria’s future hinges on the creativity, drive, and resilience of its youth. He made these remarks during a motivational gathering held at the All Progressives Congress (APC) Youth House in Abuja over the weekend.
The occasion, named “An Evening with the Senate President,” was organized by the APC’s national youth leader, Hon. Dayo Israel, and brought together a vibrant mix of young professionals, emerging leaders, and members of the APC Youth Wing.
In his address to the young progressives, Akpabio imparted valuable insights from his more than two decades in public service. He stressed the importance of thorough preparation, seeking mentorship, and maintaining consistency as pillars of effective leadership. He urged the youth to prioritize skill development and remain steadfast in their dedication to advancing the nation.
“I applaud the APC Youth Wing for creating a space that encourages meaningful dialogue between generations and strengthens the principles of unity and progress within our party,” Akpabio remarked.
Hon. Dayo Israel expressed deep gratitude to Senator Akpabio for honoring the invitation and for his persistent efforts to promote youth engagement and empowerment within the party. He described the Senate President as a transformative figure whose distinguished career path serves as a guiding light for aspiring leaders.
“Senator Akpabio exemplifies visionary leadership,” Israel stated. “His impressive journey from Governor to Minister and now Senate President reflects unwavering determination, excellence, and a lifelong commitment to public service.
This interaction provided young party members with direct access to his wealth of experience. We are dedicated to merging seasoned wisdom with fresh ideas, ensuring that the youth actively contribute to policy-making and governance throughout Nigeria.”
The event featured a fireside conversation, an interactive question-and-answer segment, and the presentation of a commemorative gift to the Senate President. It highlighted the APC Youth Wing’s commitment to fostering leadership growth and encouraging intergenerational cooperation, in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
